Find out
who decides.
Find out where the decision stands and which person or office handles the next step. Start with the proposal, then check the current published process. An old email or someone else's experience might be out of date. Keep a dated note of what you've submitted, the replies you've had and what's still unanswered. Ask about deadlines, required information and support. When you update your group, be clear about what's a suggestion, what's under review and what's actually been decided.
